Do you have to pay ??

Locals pay $4 for parking and out-of-towners pay $5 for parking.this will allow you to drive around the back side even in park by your tables. To carry your watercraft or food or barbecue stuff with you. I found it well worth paying

We paid $5 for parking and that's it.

I've been there a few times and no one is there collecting$$

This is also a free for the Waterpark area

No we parked on the street.

No

Of course you don't have to pay so much parking around there don't pay if you do pay that would make you look bad like an idiot
